Paramedics were quick to respond, and the man was transported by ambulance to an area hospital. Police have not yet identified him, and his condition is unknown. The crowd applauded as he was carried off by stretcher, according to some in the stands.

Graphic photos, like this one we decided not to publish, were sent out on social networks by people in the stands. Some photos showed the man's face completely covered in blood. The fan fell from the Arena's F-Side, Section 126, an area reserved for the most fanatical Ajax devotees.

The unidentified victim crashed into the ground when Ajax was up by a goal. The accident happened around the same time Barcelona player Cesc Fàbregas was given a yellow card for throwing the ball away after Ajax was given a free kick.
